About Cyndi
Counsellor and BACP member with 10 years of experience, Cyndi Dyke helps people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, relationships and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures and work-related strain. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Cyndi focuses on practical conversations that look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. She uses client-centred ways of working so the person’s own goals shape the sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and notice small changes that make life easier.
She has ten years of direct counselling experience with adults, young people and children. That background informs how she plans sessions and sets realistic steps for change. Cyndi also offers faith-informed conversations when clients ask for them, drawing on scripture alongside psychological ideas.
In sessions she talks through current problems, practical coping strategies and relationship patterns. She can address issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems, commitment worries, body image and intimacy-related difficulties. Addictions, eating and sleeping problems and ADHD are also part of her practice.
Practical arrangements vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial appointment. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own perspective at the centre. The counsellor listens, reflects what is said and helps the person decide what they want to work on. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, paced way of talking about feelings and relationships.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses clear steps to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking. This can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and some types of addiction-related behaviour.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and short-term goals. It asks what is already working and builds on small wins. This approach often fits people wanting focused sessions to solve a particular problem or get unstuck quickly.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree a plan together. That conversation helps decide which methods to use and how to pace the sessions.
Practical arrangements for online counselling should be checked before booking, as the profile does not list specific session formats. Confirm which session formats are offered and how they fit into your routine. Online options can make it easier to fit counselling around work, cut travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed.
